Ifab Trials ... blimey.

Don't know if anyone else has posted this, but I just stumbled upon it:

Blue cards to be introduced into football for sin-bins under Ifab trials

Plans to introduce blue cards to send players to a sin-bin are to be unveiled by Ifab

www.theguardian.com

You'd think they'd want to sort VAR out first, but could be interesting for teams (*cough* Man City *cough*) with systems of rotational "tactical" fouls ..?

Edit: I've just realised that this is my very first thread on LTLF. And it's a really dry topic ... :-(

Can they just leave it alone now.

It’s called the beautiful game for a reason, stop shitting all over it.

Enjoyed this part of the report: "meaning a disgruntled multi-millionaire could be shown a blue card in as little as 12 months’ time"

Tbf, they've been playing with the offside rule for years - to the point where no-one currently understands it.

Plus, by their very nature, committees need to justify their existence.

Handball too. I've got a good acronym for the ifab to consider: fuckoff

Is this all coming from Wenger?

I guess he has a hand in it, given his current role, but I couldn't find anything about its origins beyond mentions of earlier trials.

Stupid idea and alongside VAR it was help kill the game.

We all know the 'Small Clubs' will have someone kicked off the pitch for a pull when leading 1-0 against city only for them to run down the pitch and score while the small club is down to 10 men.

Get f**ked.

 

[Redemption]

Introduce more jeopardy for the TV audience.

You are Marshall McLuhan and I claim my £5.

Anyway, you're probably right. Just wanted to flag it up for folks. Day off tomorrow and all my plans go awry as I head out for another bottle. Cheers

Yep, it’s just ridiculous.

I’m just gonna console myself with the state of football by having a ladyboy!

Never heard of Ifab, but if he can stick it in the onion bag I'll happily get Trials-Blimey on the back of my shirt

IFAB is the body that controls the laws of the game. Its older than Forest. By 2 years.

I think it’s a great idea to ensure that the Man Utd’s and Liverpool’s of this world get a man advantage for the last 10 minutes of a game they’re not winning!

 

[Redemption]

Genuine question, is the opposition here to a blue card or to the idea of a temporary exclusion from the field of play - or sin-binning?

I haven't formed an onion for myself, but I've been thinking about the 2nd yellow and how there is a different threshold in practice from a 1st yellow, probably because it's impact is massive.

This comes after the Bournemouth game where many felt Kluivert should have walked but the ref appeared to have extended more leniency because he was on a yellow.

But if you strip away the recency bias this second card leniency is a known phenomenon in the game.

Does the sin-bin fit in here?
